The Seasons is starting to sound pretty good, has some gorgeous moments and a proper "show off" solo euph part :biggrin:

That said like, I think its the hardest euph part i've played at this level, and even some higher section stuff, i think at one point i don't have a single beats rest for about 32 bars, with a FF top Bflat moments and PP bottom Dflats...nice :tup The last movement is a bit of a lip buster as well.

Absolutely loving the Seasons. Brilliantly written, every part has important parts that contribute to the main melody lines. It's so refreshing to have a repiano part that is in the true intention of the part- truly linking the back and front rows and has its own solo lines as well.

Also for solo horn 3 after “I” has been change to f# does this carry through the bar or should the next one be just f.No it should be f natual at the end of the bar

Basses2 bar after “Z” basses have crotchet, dotted crotchet, crotchet. The rest of the band has dotted then 2 crotchets, should the basses be the same. The basses should be like the rest of the band here.

I think this is one of the most interesting Rep parts I have played in recent years.When we 1st played the piece,our top man kept looking behind and saying,are you in the right place.Him not realising that this is an individual part and as you say,making the transition between front row and back row.
Best of luck to all bands.

My personal favourite of the 07 Areas is The Wayfarer, Its beautifully written, lots of detail (for both soloists and sections), challenging parts for all and is a really good blow!Again I can't comment on the playing of the trom part but it sounds good!

Couldn't agree more. Really enjoying the continuing challenge of Wayfarer - I've actually been practising for once - but I think it's a really tough piece that will really sort the bands out. There seem to be new challenges to be overcome all the time, not least in terms of tuning and intonation. Underestimate the piece at your peril!
